why did i do that? i am going to try to not check facebook right when i wake up. it never is a good thing. my friend, deb, died. she had been suffering from lung cancer for way too long. i really didn't think it would happen so fast.
i got to know her when i first moved to seattle. we both moved there around the same time. we joined a gay hiking group and met each other. during that time, my mom was battling cancer. deb had already been diagnosed right before i met her. anyway, long story short, we hit it off. she was one of those people i thought i would be friends with forever. she had such an easy going attitude, we'd walk the dogs together at the dog park. her dog, phoebe, and otis got along really well. she liked what i like. it's weird. i really feel like we were meant to meet each other.
my other friend, andre, was going through the same battle. we all met around the same time, all got along great and enjoyed each other's company. andre and deb had each other to talk to. we drank too much and laughed just enough.
it hasn't yet been a year since andre passed that deb did too.
anyway, i learned of deb's passing from andre's partner, ed's facebook posting.
there isn't going to be a memorial in seattle, but only in pennsylvania where deb is from.
how do you mourn from this? i haven't yet figured it out. with andre's death, i was there. i could be helpful to ed and do something. with deb, i am not sure what to do.
